The film was harshly criticized. It was noted that the director, unlike his successful comedy "Chasing Two Hares", was unable to consolidate his own achievements in the genre in this film: "there are many techniques in the film designed only for external success," the critics wrote. But we know that the best critic is time, and over time this film has not lost its relevance and interest of viewers. Share your impressions in the comments.
